Door curtains are a practical option to help stop drafts, protect flooring from UV damage, and muffle outside sounds. They also provide an extra layer of privacy, shielding your living space from prying eyes. Whether you want subtle protection with voile-based options for a gentle window dressing, or heavyweight blackout curtains for the ultimate light-blocking option, there are plenty of choices available. We're taking a look at the best door curtains available now.
